I am currently putting my white NT together and I looked under the car and found a length of wire with no home. Any help as to what it's for?

A bit of back story.A while a go I was driving home and the car started to stutter bad, sounded like a Subaru. So I pulled over, checked the wires, and the #1 plug wire had fallen off. PLugged it back in, and ran like a champ. Then FF to this morning. Went to start the car and it idled fine...

I recently purchased a datalogger, and the cable that came with it looks like this.Problem is the guy I bought it from never really used it, so he couldn't tell me where to connect it, and all the searches I've done here show these have 3 wires, not one jumper wire and a ground wire. The...

I heard a song today on TAO, and I cannot figure out who it is and where it's from.It was a heavy metal song that had trance in it, and they talked about gangs in LA cause they grew up there, or something similar.I cannot find the song, and I have been trying, but I heard it only once...

Ever have an idea you KNOW is a bad idea, but can't help but laugh at the idea?This is not a "I WILL do this!" thread. This is just tossing out an absurd Idea.I was looking at this picture, and pondered the feasibility of Sliding doors on a 1g. The only way I figured it would work was...

Well, I've been playing around with Forza 3, and I'm pondering a long drawn out experiment.I'm thinking of trying to find out what each upgrade does to the car over all. I know the numbers change, but I wonder how it effects track times. So I'm planning on using Nurburgring, Fujimi, and the...

Alright, a bit of info, last year or so I went to a friend's house and parked, and heard a snap. Car didn't move or anything. When I left, I found the driver side rear rotor was seized. I limped it home and replaced the calipers with rebuilt ones, new rotors, and pads.However I notice now...

I have been bouncing around ideas for painting my DSM in the future, and it made me wonder about what is acceptable for painting a car.Keep in mind I've only toyed with most of these ideas. I figure by the time I Paint the car, all the performance modifications would be done and I would only...

I've started tracking my fuel mileage recently on TrackYourGasMileage - Keep a tab on your car's consumption (25.95 ave so far) and that reminded me of threads with people posting their MPGs and such, and I thought of a little game for anyone that wants to play. You can see your car's MPG and...

Alrighty, I've been bouncing around goofy ideas again.In my family, I am the only person that does not ride a Harley Davidson. A few years ago I had an anime called Plastic Little, and in it, the main Character Tita rode what appeared to be a rather interesting designed motorcycle. I've...

Well, I didn't mean it. But I deserved it. I didn't pay attention.:ohdamn:I was pulling out of a parking spot at a friend's apartment. This place had covered parking spots, and I just happened to pull into one. I was backing up and thought I had pulled out far enough, and started turning...
